I expect that I'll like it after I've used it a few times, but I doubt that it will ever become one of my favorite scents. In reality, whichever top performing soaps that my wife likes the scent of are the ones that I use with any regularity.

I have read many mixed reviews about the scent, some say it has an animal musk like undertone with a mix of Vanilla and Bergamot. I find it funny that such a complex scented soap was sold out everywhere in a day or two. I really want to smell the stuff but wont be buying an entire dish to do so. I'm sure the performance is on par with all other B&M soaps which is a good thing.

RazorGuy Shave!

This Sunday I felt like shaving with the homemade shaving products I make - therefore they are not for sale - so I used my pre-shave oil, shaving soap and Bay Rum aftershave. As for the aftershave I opted for my new Bay Rum, although there is also another one I call "Thyrrenus" - because of the noble Etruscan people who lived in Perugia, my city, 3000 years ago - but I like using this one in summertime because it has a more refreshing and cooling effect. As for the razor, I opted for this Mastro Livi RWL34 and I must say I like this stainless steel very much, always giving a very close shave - somewhat aggressive - but absolutely super smooth. I also have to say, the more I use my shaving soap the more I like it. Its post shave effect and feeling on the skin is absolutely superb!
